One of the Biggest Things I’ve Ever Done
One of the biggest things I’ve ever done, and ever wanted to do, was to write a book that a publisher publishes—because I have self-published and it’s not quite the same. Last year was that year for me. This ADHD dude managed to publish a book. That he mostly wrote on his laptop at his dining room table while his baby slept strapped to his body, or in the dark on his phone while his baby slept in his arms. ADHD. With a baby. During Covid lockdown.
Nothing is impossible.
What I learned while writing this book is that every moment helps. You don’t need steaming cocoa, rain falling outside, and 4 solid hours to work on your book. All you need is a minute, standing in a train, with your phone in hand.
Hopefully that inspires you to begin doing what you really really want to do—even if all you can give to it is 5 minutes each day. But maybe you don’t know what you really really want to do. Well, in that case, try something on. See if it fits. The reason I wrote The Perfect 100 Day Project—the book I was talking about above—is because a 100 Day Project can be life changing and life giving. You can do whenever you want—you don’t need to wait for a starting gun to be fired. Or for someone to give you permission. But there is an official 100 Day Project each year that thousands of people do together—or kind of together. They all work on something by themselves at the same time—together. And it begins on Feb 22. That’s soon. Yup. But no pressure. Just wanted you to know.
For my 100 Day Project this year I’ll be working on something called Happy Sun Fam. It’s something that came out of last year’s NFT deep dive (my last 100 day Project). It was born out of my NFT collection called The Doodleverse. Collectors began remarking that they loved it when this happy sun character was included in a piece. So I created a PFP (profile picture) collection with this happy sun. I called the collection Happy Sun. And people loved it.
Now I want to turn Happy Sun into something bigger and more awesome—Happy Sun Fam. I want to spread the happiness further and wider.
Come have a look:
The Happy Sun collection. There are 101 Happy Suns! And they’re all really happy. You can also maybe dip your toes into the NFT world.
My Discord. I’ve rearranged things to make it more welcoming for students and 100 Day Projecters. Come share what you’re working on for your 100 Day project (or other creative projects). Discord is a waaay better version of Slack and WhatsApp and Facebook groups. There are no ads. You can mute certain channels. All your posts are seen.
The Perfect 100 Day Project book. This is the book I was talking about. You can get the eBook, the print edition, or a eBook+print bundle.
Join me live on YouTube this Tuesday at 2pm UTC. I’ll be doodling some weird and very colourful things. You can ask me questions, hang out, or just do your own thing with me creating and talking in the background.
Hit me up with questions. Tell me what you’re working on. Let me know what you’re enjoying at the moment!
❤️ Big loves
